Ames Construction was a joint venture partner on a project that constructed a new concrete-lined canal and converted an unlined storage area into a lined reservoir. The project's goals were to stop seepage of water into Mexico and expand irrigation in California’s Imperial Valley.

The project consisted of excavation, dewatering, and constructing a concrete liner for approximately 10 miles of irrigation canal. Additional work scope included five concrete structures, grading, trimming, and lining five miles of existing canal.
